E-mail Notification of Work Status Change

Hi Experts, I configured and triggered a BPC e-mail notification for Work Status change. However, there are few areas I would like to improve on. Please help. A sample notification message is attached below. Areas highlighted in red are the areas I would like to improve on.
Subject: You have received an automated message from %PRODUCT2%
The work status code of Entity has been changed by RCHU:
This is to inform you that RCHU has updated the work status to Submitted on 01/09/2012 16:21 UTC.
Category:C_Actual
Entity:E_1211
Time:2007.FEB
New Status:Submitted
Date/Time:01/09/2012 16:21 UTC
Here are my questions.
1. Subject line - Where do I configure the variable %PRODUCT2% ?
2. Entity - How can I display the description of the Entity?
3. Date/Time - How can I display local time instead of UTC?
Thank you in advance for your help. We are running the Microsoft version of BPC.

The periodic scripts or launchd would have to send the email. I don't think you have to do anything to send mail, just receive it, you can check that from the command line:
mail [email protected]
When you finish your message put a period on a blank line and hit return, that indiecates the end of the message.
The one butt biter is that Apple puts a .forward file in all home directories that says to direct all mail to /dev/null , essentially it sends it to a black hole. You'll need to edit this file and put in your email address (if you want the email to go there) or the mails (should) wait for the user to run the mail command to read their messages.
The mail command has a fairly extensive man page:
man mail

  • Mail notification (sound) will not change

    I cannot seem to get the mail sound to change (on my iPhone5) from the sound I had on my 4s (backed up and reloaded through iCloud).
    I have changed the sound in "settings" and regardless of that sound is chosen, the "News Flash" WILL.NOT.GO.AWAY
    I even changed it to "None" and the "News Flash" sound still chimes.
    Anyone have this issue?

    Ok so the first things that you would need to determine are as follows:  This is the best way to get this to test and see if it works for you.   First things first, set aside all the notes on configurations that you would need for 2 Accounts to configure with email.  Prior to doing this, do the reset as listed above in the directions of this post's reply.  Once you have it reset, then do the following steps:
    1.   First , set the mail notification Sound by going to Settings > Sounds > Mail , and change this here to something other than default.
    2.  Add your first email account first to the phone using the Mail Accounts and do New.  Once you have added the new account, just this first one, send a mail message to it from a PC/MAC and test to see if the sound is working other than the default meaning the sound you changed it to. 
    3.  Once you have conifrmed that it's working this way, next you will need to do, is add the 2nd account to the phone, and test that you can get mail on it.
    4.  Now that you have both accoutns, you can go into Settings>Notifications>Mail>and you will see both accounts listed there .   For me it's : Exchange, LiveMail, Icloud in that order.   All of these are clickable with touch.
    5  Touch one of them it will open the menu to allow you to change notifications including sounds.
    CHANGE all 3 accounts sounds using step 4 listed and then after you have done this for each of them accounts, test by sending emails to them.
    Let me know if you need help.
    Thanks.

  • Service Desk: E-Mail notification when processor is changed

    Hi experts,
    At the moment I'm implementing a Service Desk scenario. I want to send a e-mail notification to the NEW processor of a service desk message when the processor is changed in a message.
    An example:
    User A is the current processor of a message. He's no longer responsible so sets User B as message processor, so User B is the new processor and should get an E-Mail-Notification.
    My actual problem is to get a helpful condition configuration which checks if the old processor is not equal to the new processor, could you help me with this topic?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Werner
    I think they worked out a solution to the same problem in this thread.

    Hope that helps!

  • Mail notifications not working correctly on iPhone 5

    On my new iPhone 5 I have mail notifications set up as on in the notification center, alert style is banners, badge app icon is on and show preview is on, view in lock screen is off. It is set up the same way as when I had an iPhone 4. However, when I get a new email and the phone's screen is not on, the next time I turn it on I will not get the banner alert, all I see is the badge icon. This is kind of annoying as I would like to see the banner to know who the email is from before going into the mail app.
    The notifications for mail on my iPad running iOS 6 just like my iPhone 5 are set up the same way and work correctly.
    Why would they not be working correctly on my iPhone 5?

    I have tried what you are saying and all the above, I don't think you understand what we are saying is happening to us because you probably never used or use it. We understand that you can see the notification by pulling down the notification tab from the top of the screen but in the past for example on my ipad and iphone 4 it would show you a preview banner of your emails you have received for the day had you not unlocked your phone for any given amount of time and given you did receive any emails the next time you unlocked your phone it would bring up top of the screen a preview of each email you had in your inbox automatically one by one in the banners without having to go to the notification pull down. It is a bug because I guarntee if you turned it on you wouldn't see what were talkin about either and you wouldn't if you've never were setup for that intention either.

  • Mail notifications not working in Notification Centre iOS5

    Hi
    I am using an iPhone 4 and recently updated to iOS5. Most of my notifications in the new Notification Centre work fine, except my Mail. Whenever I send a test email, it never pops up as a banner at the top of the screen, as it would like an ordinary iMessage. I have turned Mail 'On' in the Notification Centre, and after a couple tests I did get the feature to work, although the mail notification only popped up like 5 minutes after I initially sent it. For the most part, however, if I send a test email, I never receive the pop up notification. The only way I can receive mail is by manually going into the Mail app, as we all did before iOS5.
    Please can someone offer some assistance here?
    Thank you!

    I have a 3GS, and am having the same problem! I updated to iOS5 (with a multitude of other issues), and everything with mail was fine..it was only a couple weeks ago that I noticed I wasn't receiving notification of new emails in any email accounts. You're not alone!

  • Email notification when Document status changes in Solution Manager

    Hi,
    Is there a way to send email notification to certain people if the document status changes in Solution Manager?
    For example: A notification email should be send to business user when development is complete.
    When development is complete, document is set with status 'Build complete'. As soon as this status is set, we want to notify business user to test the object. Similarly on other document statuses as well.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Mac OS X 10.8.3 Mail notification NOT WORKING ANYMORE!!!...PLZ HELP

    After upgrading my os to 10.8.3 os x, my mail notification bubbles/alerts / right sie notification menu does not work....this is highly frustrating.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    More importantly, has anyone found the solution and is so kind as to offer the steps here?
    Thanks very much

    Thanks for replying so quickly pal, but I actually seemed to have solved my own problem.
    For anyone who has been having the same issue that I did, follow these steps:
    1) go to your 'contacts' app and remove your email address from your own 'card'
    (not sure if this is necessary) 2) remove apple id from user & preference profile

  • Disabling E-mail notifications not working after reboot

    Hello. It seems that the mail notification and the mail count still persist even if I have it disabled on the settings after rebooting. I've checked the settings after reboot and it is still set as disabled (after following the guide), but the notifications still appear. Is this an bug on the on the app that needs to be fixed? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

    I've had a number of problems with the Playbook not recognising the settings I've chosen. In this case, with disabling email notifications, it resets after each reboot. 
    I've found that if I go into my the Messages app, and then into Message Settings, it shows that alerts are set to be off (display message count, and display new message indicator). The fix for me is to enable alerts, go back to main app screen, then go back into settings and disable alerts once more. At that point the settings seem to stick. So whenever I reboot the playbook, I just have to do that and notifications will remain off until the next reboot.
    Let us know if that works for you too. Maybe it will help the engineers figure out what's wrong.

  • Mail notifications stop working and require a reboot to work again.

    Why do my mail notifications stop showing up on my iPhone 4s after a day or two? It usually works again after a reboot but then stops working again after a day or two? Very annoying. I have an iPad 2 as well, which is running iOS5 (like my iPhone 4s) and I don't have this notification problem like I do on my iPhone 4s. My mail is a converted MobileMe mail account that is now an iCloud account. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Settings > Notifications > Mail, what does it say?
    Thanks for your reply! Mail notifications are turned on and I have it set to show the last 10 notifcations, I am using the banner and alert sounds.
    Like I said, it works but then after "a while" it stops working until I do a reboot... It is very consistent in this pattern.
    Also, I use the Twitter App (official one) and I have never gotten a notification even though I have Notifications turned on for Twitter too.
    Thanks,

  • Work status change = send email

    Dear all,
    Has anyone setup some sort of functionality where automatically an email is sent out as soon as the work status is changed /updated? Is this at all possible in BPC?
    Any suggestion, hints or tips is more than welcome.
    Thanks,
    Said

    Hi,
    Thanks Said.
    It is in the Step A(first I put step D and later edited later to Step A), we select the owner. By using the two drop down menus, we can specify a number of days prior to the start of, or after the start of the BPF in the step C, the users shall be notified. In the step D, the processes are defined and there we need to select the box for 'Enable Alerts'.
    You also go through the config documents on BPC as well BPF for better understanding.

  • Facebook & Mail Notifications Not Working

    I recently got an iPhone 6 and for some reason both my Facebook & Mail notifications are not appearing on my lock screen. I have everything turned on in my Notification Center but they are still not appearing on the lock screen. Can someone please help me fix this??

    Sorry this is not an Apple issue, but with Viber.  I suggest you contact Viber directly, or do a forum search as this has been brought up numerous of time.   I believe there also someone from the Viber team who posted in these forum, you should be able to find it in the search.  
    and when you get a hold of Viber, let them know that ****** you off .

  • Email Alert/Notification when client status changes?

    Hi,
    Does ARD allow for email alerts or notification when a client goes offline or in sleep mode?
    Also, does ARD monitor the ON/OFF status of a screen attached to a remote computer?
    Thanks,

    Something like Dejal Simon might work for you. I don't know of any way for a Mac to detect whether the monitor is turned off or not, though.

  • Sending e-mail only if the status changed from a specific status

    Hi Gurus,
    There are a lot of thereads about sending an e-mail when the status is changed to something...
    But ,Is there any way to check the <u>previous status</u> prior to send the e-mail?
    For example;
    I want to send an only e-mail to message processor when the status is changed from "customer action" to "In process" but not when the status is changed from "new" to "In process"
    In my opinion to achieve the scenario above there must be something else so-called "previous user status" in the condition creation screen. But there is no...
    Thanks in advance,
    Gencay

    Hi Suzi,
    You should select "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2" as condition in your mail processes. For the approved process, write Approved as Expression 2 in the condition, and Rejected for the rejected process. For both processes write P5_STATUS in Expression 1.
    Hope that helps.

  • Mail Notifications not working

    Hi, just got a new Ipad Air and i'm having some issues with it.
    My Mail App gives no warning that I have recieved a new email, this happens with the Ipad in sleep or Locked mode as well as when it's being used. I simply don't recieve email notificaton.
    I dont recieve notifications that there are new emails, expect when I open the Mail App, then it "refreshes" and acknowledges that I have new emails.
    The Mail App is "Included" in the Menu of the Notification Center, Alert Styles is selected to Banners, Show on Lock screen is also selected.
    In the Mail, Contacts, Calenders Menu, Fetc New data has been selected and the gmail account has been selected to Fetch.
    Why am I not receiving email notifications when the ipad is on?

    Make sure sound is not muted (tap to enlarge image). Also increase volume in Settings>Sounds
